释义与例句

n.
  1. 1.

    A star which seems to move in the sky; a planet.

    The word planet is an old Greek word meaning "wandering star" (planets wander, Fixed Stars do not) — so either term is correct, although modern popular usage is planet. I like star. Especially "wandering star." ]

词源

Calque of Ancient Greek ἀστὴρ πλανήτης (astḕr planḗtēs) as distinguished from the fixed stars.
